Let’s be clear: U.S. citizens are the only people who vote in U.S. elections. Nobody else does. When Trump claims otherwise, he is lying.

If you make less than $360,000 per year, your taxes will actually INCREASE under Donald Trump. Anyone making more than $360,000 will get a tax cut. Trump's pitching more trickle-down economic nonsense, but please tell me again that he's the candidate for working people.

Honestly, there's so much more, from exchanging “love letters” with North Korea's brutal dictator to undermining NATO to late-night tweet binges. Tell me the biggest things you think I may have missed.

Immigrants are 80% more likely to start a business than U.S.-born citizens. They're not “taking jobs.” They're creating them.

Trump once said that the wages of US workers are “too high.” He praised the idea of illegally firing workers who are on strike. He said he "hated to give overtime" to his own workers and "wouldn't pay it." But go on about how Trump is the candidate for working people. Hello?

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

Trump is Project 2025. It is his plan, written by people he hand-chose, to put every aspect of Americans' lives under MAGA control. I'll be releasing a video about it soon, but in the mean time, please read this.?

Reminder: When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands, and the economy grows. When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer, and the gains don’t trickle down. It’s that simple.

If the Kroger-Albertsons merger goes through, that combined company + Walmart would control 70% of the grocery market in over 160 cities. Think grocery prices are bad now? Without competition, it would be a price gouging free-for-all. This is why the FTC is suing to stop it.

Whether it’s Sam Bankman-Fried, Bernie Madoff, or Elizabeth Holmes, it seems like super-rich con artists only get prison time when their victims also include the super rich.

Four years ago, Trump admitted about Covid for the first time: “This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” A week earlier he'd been promising it would just “go away” on its own.

Yesterday, Pres. Biden proposed a budget that makes the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share while lowering costs for working Americans. What was Donald Trump doing? He was on TV saying he'd cut Social Security and Medicare. The contrast could not be more clear.
